The final rehearsal before our final concerts of the Des Moines Symphony season will involve a 21 and older event this Friday at the Civic Center. I don’t remember the time right off the top of my head, but it should start at around 5:30 in the west lobby (facing 3rd St.) There will be pizza and liquor served, so please come and enjoy that and an open rehearsal. Pianist Charlie Albright will join the orchestra to perform Rhapsody in Blue and Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto. La Valse by Ravel and a few other works will be featured too, and no reservations are required.
I am expecting a package with new cello strings to be delivered here soon, and it’s from Concord Musical Supplies. Please be very careful not to bend it, and place it in my mailbox when it arrives.
